Many people on lemmy.ml deeply respect and admire authoritarian governments and organizations.
Iran, China, North Korea, Soviet Union…
The West has many flaws. But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Iran hangs homosexuals. Iran shot 30,000 people in less than than 2 weeks. The Soviet Union had to build a fucking Iron wall to prevent people from escaping. The Soviets lied about the Chernobyl nuclear explosion. China censors the internet. China wants to eliminate Islam. North Korea is a totalitarian hellscape. Watching anime is a crime.
Why is lemmy.ml so fascinated with authoritarians?
Whose simping for Iran? I want both sides to lose, but the Iranian citizens to not be harmed. It’s two fascist regimes fighting each other tbh (well 3 really if we’re counting Israel). I’m on lemmy.ml though cos I’m an idiot and didn’t realize how this site worked, might switch instances.
